Zhu Xuan does not completely trust officials.
This is probably influenced by Lao Zhu.
Although Zhu Xuan treats officials well and once proposed raising their salaries, when he saw the scene of giving out free briquettes and heaters in front of him, he first thought that this matter had something to do with local officials.
Without an order from local officials, the government officials here would not dare to say directly that heaters and other items have been distributed.
Zhu Xuan can be sure that the cold-proof materials sent to each city are sufficient and will not lead to a situation where most people cannot get them.
The people who had been waiting in a long queue to receive the goods exclaimed in disbelief when they heard that the goods had been distributed, but they did not dare to question or object to the government officials.
Since there is no more, they can only go back and endure the cold.
The people who received the supplies ran home happily and prepared to install heaters to keep out the cold.
Zhu Xuan saw that the government officials had tidied up and then went back, so he sent someone to stop them.
"What are you going to do?"
A government servant snorted coldly, with a arrogant face, and said proudly: "Do you know who I am? Get out of my way!"
He seemed to be the chief of the county and had certain powers. Upon hearing his shout, other government officials around him immediately put their hands on the handles of their sabers to frighten those who came to intercept.
It seems that if these people don't cooperate, they will arrest them immediately and take them back and lock them up.
"Then do you know who I am?"
A guard blocking the road lifted his cloak.
The Flying Fish Robe was like this, displayed in front of their eyes.
He also wore a token on his waist, the token of their royal guards.
"Sir...sir!"
The moment the catcher saw the flying fish robe, his whole body almost softened, and his tone of voice also stuttered a bit. The arrogant tone just now disappeared immediately.
Even in the cold winter, a layer of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.
Suddenly being approached by Jin Yiwei, he seemed a little guilty and seemed to have done something he shouldn't have done.
The remaining yamen servants almost dropped the knives in their hands to the ground.
They were also very afraid of meeting Jin Yiwei, and they really looked guilty.
“Lishui County’s supplies to the people to keep out the cold have been distributed so quickly?”
Zhu Xuan strode over and asked in a cold voice.
The head catcher and the others looked at Zhu Xuan, and then saw the Jin Yiwei. They respected Zhu Xuan, and concluded that his identity was not simple. They said in a trembling voice: "My lord, it's over. It's really been distributed. The supplies sent by the Ministry of Revenue only have this amount." point."
After he finished speaking, he wiped the sweat on his forehead.
"Are you still sweating in such a cold weather?"
Zhu Xuan asked with a sneer: "Are you sweating because of guilt, or are you sweating because of fear?"
The head catcher trembled all over, panicked and frightened, and explained: "Little man... I'm not afraid! I just feel that the identity of the adults must not be simple. I am terrified in front of the adults."
Zhu Xuan asked with a sneer: "You call me Sir, but do you know who I am?"
The catcher lowered his head and said, "Please give me some advice."
Zhu Xuan did not reveal his identity, but just looked at the head catcher.
Seeing such a look, staring directly in front of him, the head catcher felt very frightened and kept guessing about Zhu Xuan's identity. He was probably not an adult, but maybe a nobleman in the palace.
Yes, that must be the case!
To have Jin Yiwei following you by your side, your status must be quite high!
He did not think in the direction of the emperor's grandson. You must know that the weather is so cold that even peeing can freeze immediately, and hot water can directly turn into ice water if poured out.
The emperor's grandson has a distinguished status and is the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It is impossible for him to appear in a small place like Lishui County in this kind of weather.
"Noble man!"
The catcher's address to Zhu Xuan quickly changed, and he bowed and asked, "Excuse me, sir, if you stop us, what are your orders?"
Zhu Xuan saw that he was still pretending to be stupid and refused to admit that there was a problem, so he smiled and said: "As far as I know, His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun is currently in charge of the disaster relief work in the eight counties under Ying Tianfu." Ministry of Household Affairs In order to please the emperor's grandson and make some achievements to show to your majesty, the officials will definitely distribute the most sufficient cold-proof materials to these eight counties. Lishui County happens to be one of them. Early this morning, there was a large amount of materials When it was sent to Lishui County, why did you still say there weren’t enough supplies?”
As soon as these words came out, the first-class yamen officer almost couldn't hold it back and knelt down on the spot.
"If what you say is true, either there is a problem with the Ministry of Revenue or there is a problem with your Lishui County." Zhu Xuan said and looked at the other party again.
After hearing these words, the head catcher was about to cry, and he hesitated and didn't know how to explain.
"Your Highness!"
At this moment, Ji Wenjing finally arrived.
When he heard this title, the head catcher and others trembled slightly, the snow on their clothes and hair was shaken off, and their eyes were full of disbelief.
The noble person in front of me couldn't be His Royal Highness, right?
No way?
"What is the specific situation of the disaster relief supplies in Lishui County?"
Zhu Xuan asked.
Ji Wenjing said: "Early this morning, we gave priority to sending the most sufficient supplies to the eight counties of Yingtian Prefecture. The quantity is absolutely sufficient, and there will be no shortage at all."
"Is it true that another official is corrupt?"
His last words were quite direct.
The word "greed" came out of his mouth, and the catcher's body was shaken again.
Zhu Xuan said: "Someone must be greedy. Lishui County, as a county of Yingtian Prefecture, is still under the emperor's feet. Facing the majesty of the emperor, he still dares to be greedy!"
He had to admire the courage of Lishui County Magistrate.
When it comes to corrupt officials, Lao Zhu would rather kill the wrong officials than let them go. Faced with such high pressure, in front of Lao Zhu, he dared to be so direct.
He feels that the most dangerous place is the safest.
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's high pressure, is it the most suitable for corruption?
Zhu Xuan thinks this Lishui County is very interesting!
"Villain... villain deserves to die!"
The catcher understood that some things could no longer be suppressed, and they really knelt down.
Kneeling very simply, he knelt in front of Zhu Xuan, shaking and begging for mercy.
"Your Highness!"
Yan Guan finally came back and handed Zhu Xuan a piece of information about Lishui County.
After Zhu Xuan read everything, his face suddenly became very exciting.
The magistrate of Lishui County is indeed very powerful, and he is really brave. He took such a desperate risk. Zhu Xuan once again admired him and said to himself: "It's a bit interesting!"
Yan Guan said sternly: "Your Highness, we are going to arrest the person and throw him into the prison for interrogation."
Zhu Xuan waved his hand and said: "No, I'll go and take a look in person. I want to see how courageous the magistrate of Lishui can be. You can continue to check the situation in other counties. By the way! Let Liang Fu come to see me again. .”
"yes!"
Yan Guan went down again.
The head catcher and the government officials could basically guess who Zhu Xuan was, and his body was trembling even more now.
The clothes on my back were completely soaked with sweat.
At this time, the cold wind blew, the ice was cold, and even my heart felt cold.
It’s over!
Also dead!
They don't know what else to do next.
With how much the Ming Dynasty hated corrupt officials, even if they peeled off all their skins, it would not be enough.
"Where is the county government office? Lead me the way!"
Zhu Xuan said coldly.
The head catcher couldn't help but lead the way, so he was directly captured by the Jin Yiwei and walked in the front.
